Art grabbed Kevin by his shoulders as the smile slid off Ray's face. Kevin fought, but Art held him back just as hard, wondering whether he should be saving Amanda's killer's life. "WHY?!" Kevin's yell echoed around the Nether as Ray backed up against his pump, trying to get away.
Art gave him a look that said clearly: Get the answer right or I'll let go. Ray's face was white as he stammered "Uh- S- Sorry?"
Wrong answer, thought Art, and he let Kevin go. The little colour in Ray's face left it, but he grabbed Kevin by his wrists and slammed him against the pump. Art saw Kevin gasping for air and started towards Ray himself. Ray tried to use the same move on him, but he miscalculated and Art went over the side of the ledge and into the lava.
Kevin staggered to his feet. Ray had killed both of his friends and still stood there like it was no big deal! Ray raised his hands in front of his face, "S- Self-defense!" he stammered, but Kevin didn't listen.
Ray went into the lava just like Art had, and Kevin heard the scream he'd been looking forward to hearing for a long time. But now he'd heard it. All the energy left Kevin's body. He had no regrets for killing Ray, but as the obsession, his insanity, left him, so did all that kept him going. Kevin closed his eyes; he was so tired that he didn't even feel it when he died.
